Why do discussions about Ohio State's problems result in Michigan being added in for good measure? Michigan may have committed a misdemeanor by overdoing it on the practice times, but Ohio State committed a felony when the tag team of T&T (Tressel and Terrelle) jumped off the high rope and delivered an atomic elbow to the NCAA rulebook. Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany can't talk about one without mentioning the other: "Neither one of those institutions have a history of being in that
situation," said Delany during a news conference he held last Thursday
shortly after meeting with the coaches. "It not only has reflected
poorly on them, it's reflected poorly on us." [CP]

Former Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards, the guy currently challenging Ricky Williams for the title of the most flaky player in the NFL, has landed his space ship in San Francisco. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh thinks he can keep Edwards focused: "He's hit some potholes," Harbaugh said. "You don't want that to spiral
any further down. It's kind of time to start doing all the little
things right, that he knows of and he's capable of. He's a good
guy." [CBS-SPORTS]

After making a joke at the expense of Purdue yesterday let's show them some love by covering their uniform unveiling. The team photo looks really great and ... holy crap, that's what Purdue looks like? These guys need to Boiler Up with a shake weight and a couple protein shakes. [CBS-SPORTS]

Pitcher JJ Putz, like any former Wolverine, fondest memory is beating Ohio State: "My sophomore year I was pitching when we clinched the Big Ten against
Ohio State. And I got the last out and just seeing the mob on the mound.
And being at the bottom of that pile, seeing the faces on all the guys
and knowing how hard we worked to get to that point, that was definitely
a memory that I’ll remember." [MD]
